Call to Worship
Sometimes we come to the Lord with a heart full of faith, thanksgiving and love and yet at other times we come with a heart full of fear and disappointment with anxiety and confusion. We wonder where God is and what He is doing. But God is good. He welcomes us just as we are. He invites us to come to Him even if we are hurting, weary, doubting, and struggling. With such an invitation let us draw near unto the Lord for He knows us and loves us and is an ever present help in time of need.

Prayer
Let us pray that we shall not miss what God is seeking to teach each one of us during this time of trial. Let us pray that our neighbors and politicians and the people of this city will see that during times of trouble we are being called back to God, to repent and believe.
